212 FLORIDA HEMIPTERA 



north the paler bluish form predominated. I follow Ball in 

 using the name undata in place of obtnsa for this insect, al- 

 though as he says it may later have to be sunk as a variety of 

 that species. 



271. Oncometopia costalis Fabricius. 



Crescent City, Sanford and Tampa. I found but few spec- 

 imens of this species and all were of the dark, almost black 

 variety. Fabricius first described this species as Cercopis later- 

 alis but in 1803 when he placed his earlier described Cicada 

 lateralis in genus Cercopis be renamed this marginella and dis- 

 covering that he had already used this name on the preceding 

 page for another Cercopis, he again changed it in the "Errata" 

 to costalis under which specific name it has since been known. 

 I can see no real gain in the rehabilitation of the old name as 

 has been done by Dr. Ball. 



272. Homalodisca triquetra Fabricius. 



Sanford and Sevenoaks; four examples. Tcttigonia vitri- 

 pennis Germar and coagalata Say are now considered as syn- 

 onyms of this. 



273. Tettigoniella occatoria Say. 



Crescent City and Sanford. Taken on rank vegetation in 

 damp places and around the borders of gardens. I found it in 

 a few such restricted localities only, but there it was not un- 

 common. 



Dr. Distant has, it seems to me, finally settled the synon- 

 omy of this genus by showing that neither Tettigonia nor Teti- 

 gonia are available and we must therefore fall back upon the 

 name recently proposed by Dr. Jacobi. 



274. Tettigoniella sp. 



At St. Petersburg I took one example of a species slightly 

 resembling Drcectilaccphala reticulata but with the cephalic 

 characters nearly of genus Tettigoniella, which as yet I have 

 been unable to determine to my satisfaction. 



275. Kolla fuscolineella Fowler. 



Common everywhere in Florida. This is the same dark 

 form I took in Jamaica which should probably be considered 

 but a variety of bifida Say.
